Egypt wishes for Libya to remain a military dictatorship under Haftar to rip benefits from Libya's oil. Scavenger politics. Egypt will tell you they agree with you on one thing, and go do completely the opposite. Never to be trusted.

Yet Egypt had betrayed its most loyal allies in the past. Egypt benefits from the relationship, then comes the betrayal. Turkey be careful..

Egypt had betrayed its most loyal allies in the past. Beware Turkey.

Jordanians support Haftar, the dictator who aspires to govern Libya

The purpose of Military equipment is the protection of the country. Algeria is the 10th largest country in the world, bordering 7 neighbors. Regardless of the nature of the equipment, the combat spirit and the killing instinct of the soldier are what make the difference in war. Algerians used...

There seems to be a Cezayir-Turkey new economic rapprochement with Algeria being Turkey's gate to Africa. In the Libya crisis, Erdogan visited Algiers last year and both countries positions are opposite to the Egypt-UAE-Russia axis on the issue. Algeria's new elected leadership are moving away...

Jordan being a protégé of the US, is all its armament conducting for war independently, or under U.S. chaperoneship ?

Morocco ranks 55 in Global Fire Power ranking, way below its neighbor Algeria which ranks 27.
